Microsoft announces open source React Native for Windows

Microsoft announced the open source React Native for Windows at the Build 2019 Developer Conference, a framework for building native Windows applications using React. This source code of project host on Github.

“React Native enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React. The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about – learn once, write anywhere. Facebook uses React Native in multiple production apps and will continue investing in React Native.”

The project was previously implemented using C#, but React Native’s continued development involves a closer interaction between C++ and JS, which is difficult to implement with a separate C# implementation. So Microsoft is currently rewriting React Native for Windows in C++ for better performance and better alignment with the exposed C++ React Native core. Microsoft intends to provide a compatibility layer that will support existing applications, view managers, and native modules written in C#.
